Friendly, chatty, loud, funny and intimidating. Intimidating in the way that black culture has this insular quality to it that I have a hard time relating to. It’s also hard because being white, I feel like I have to be extremely sensitive around all minorities, especially blacks, so that I won’t look like a stupid jerk. Black women can be really intimidating. They’re the last people I ever want to get into an arguement with, because when they get pissed, it’s over. Like if I say something that’s just completely wrong, I won’t get a second chance because I’ll be branded a racist forever. Black women seem to be louder that other women, but I can’t say for sure because I live next to a family of loud black women. It could be something that’s been ingrained through the years and it just stands out when it happens. As a whole I think black people are alright, I’m just nervous about coming across as racist.

I like booming bass and playing drums and running around shouting because it’s energizing, in a way. It’s a very satisfying expression of however I feel. Not exactly a direct analog, but there’s this sort of resonance between me and the sound, like singing in tune with a group of people. And of course I appreciate quiet; don’t you appreciate sound?

but I’m taking a class asian-american culture and there was a class discussion about this and it basically boiled down to the media image of asian men versus all other men. Asian men are usually portrayed as weak saps and are the ones who get killed while bravely saving someone else. Meanwhile, the other races have something or another going for them in pop culture, and that gets ingrained in the women. So in a way, they have this impression of asian guys as well-meaning nerds and the other races as powerful or cool or whatever. I think. I’m not an asian woman, so I’m not absolutely sure.

I think it has to do with what people eat and what kind of odoring/deodorizing products they use. I stopped eating meat a few months ago and switched to a lot of noodles and noticed that my room started having that asian smell. As far as the products go, the differences probably come from which ones people grow up around and are more familiar with, and thus are more likely to buy. I was in a Korean market and found these deoderant cakes that smelled just like my friend’s grandparents’ place.
